TRANSPORTATION/COMMUNICATIONS--SPRING WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spring Weight Restrictions - Closing Notice Due to the unusually mild temperatures across the province during the past week, the Minister of Transportation and Communications has determined that it is necessary to implement spring weight restrictions earlier than in previous years. This is necessary in order to protect public highways from further damage. Public highways will be subject to spring weight restrictions effective 12:01 a.m., Feb. 26. Weight restrictions already apply to gravel roads in most counties across the province. For a list of exempt roads, see The Chronicle-Herald newspaper on Tuesday, Feb. 27, or contact your local Department of Transportation and Communications office or any provincial scale house. -30- Contact: Public Affairs & Communications Office 902-424-8687 trp Feb. 23, 1996 - 12:35 p.m.
